So you've dined on maters in Jville? Cardboard from the grocery store and the "farmers" markets. As God is my witness, I will defeat the plant eaters in this area and grow some great grapes, plums, slicers and zebras come spring! (And about 30 other varieties tucked in my seed box waiting to fruit again.)

Oxytocin seems an extreme approach to me. A more common practice in Central America is to foliar spray by airplane with Potassium Citrate when flag leaves begin to show in the plantation.

Honestly, name calling is very childish. I asked for links; you provided. Thanks.
